Member of Technical Staff

About Squad HealthSquad Health is solving the biggest problem in specialty medications: access. Specialty drugs are on track to be an $800B market by 2030, yet roughly 40% of these prescriptions never make it to the patient. Not because the therapy doesn't work, but because the process doesn't. Providers spend dozens of hours a week on benefits verification, prior authorizations, appeals, and financial assistance, and patients wait weeks for medications they need now.We built an AI platform to own this entire journey. Providers send us the prescription and our agentic platform takes it from there, automating the vast majority of the work and getting patients on therapy in days instead of weeks. In just one year we've already grown to serve thousands of providers across 40+ states, backed by world class technology and healthcare investors. On the other side of the marketplace, the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers partner with Squad to we solve critical barriers to access for patients.
